| lovely ending :') i missed the cute little fox ^^ |
| Honestly i was expecting more out of the last ep. The starting and ending eps are quite boring, found the middle eps (6,7..etc) to be more interesting! Giving it a high 7.. or a low 8. |
| i like a little fox |
| I liked how you see the little fox from before (he's so cute!), the other guy who can see youkai, and also that youkai who helped Natsume with the curse. It was also nice to see Natsume and Tanuma talking :) A very relaxing episode and a great way to end the season! And that ending song really gets me every time...so beautiful! Off to watch the next season! |
| Nice ending indeed with a pleasant feeling of those fireworks at the end there. :) Overall, 8/10 for this series. Time to watch the sequel! |

Drazard said: 9/10 - loved the ending~ I don't remember Natori Shuuichi - was he in a previous episode? Was I sleeping when he first appeared? ._.''' Go and watch episode 9 again. |
| Really nice ending. Easily one of the best episodes in the season. Too bad about the plot development in the series. And it waited till the last episode to hint that there's interesting back story for natsume. I'll give it 7/10, didn't blow me away but I enjoyed it thoroughly all the same. I'll definitely watch the next season. |
| Such junk... |
| "If you're both reserved, you can't call that a family, right?" Sometimes those little things can mean so much. I wish I had a family like that. :( This is a wonderful series. I will definitely see the next season! Keep pursuing your dreams! ~ Wynn |

| this series is definitely one of my favorites. Almost every episode always left this warm and relaxing feelings, it really great since the only other anime that has these kinds of effects (for me) is probably Kimi ni Todoke. really love how several characters from previous episodes were returning, that little fox was so freaking adorable it made me want to cuddle him forever >_< overall, pretty good episode for an ending of this series' 1st season. Gonna watch 2nd season a.s.a.p 8/10 |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| I don't care what people think, that foxGIRL is so adorable in this episode. Some really cute moments :'D Now, what's up with the black haired guy being super duper friendly? It almost seemed like there were going to be some Boy x Boy action.. Glad that didn't happen. For me personally this was a "meh" anime filled with some funny and awesome moments (most likely produced by Mr Madara). I didn't get the same feels on some of the episodes as others did, but hey that's fine by me. I just liked the relaxing vibe I got from this show and for that I give this first season a strong 7/10. |
| Very relaxing and pleasant anime. Had some great comedy, stories and feels. 9/10. |
 |
| 9/10! Beautiful anime, can't wait to start season two. |

| A pretty decent ending for this first season, this anime sure took my by surprise for being quite good with development of each individual episode! The characters and development of these characters was done quite lovely and was put together very properly to form a great whole! All by all I sure liked this first season so let's see what the other season have to offer us! |
 |
| I love this anime!! It's grown on me so much in such a short amount of time. I absolutely can't wait to watch the rest. 10/10. |
| I enjoyed seeing all the past character's including the little fox. So Tanuma has so far seen Nyanko-sensei and the little fox kid in his human form. Poor Nyanko-sensei captured by Sasada who was rather amusing. I want more Sasada and Natsume, they make a great couple. |
 |
| I wasn't expecting to like this show as much as I did. Great show. |
| Am I the only one who giggles every-time Sasada gets the end of the stick? I love Tanuma x Natsume friendship and hopefully it gets closer next season. |
 |
| The festival was fun and although nothing big happened, it was a fitting conclusion that captured the feel good sensation and relaxing mood of this series. Overall this turned out to be a very big surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and how vibrant it was. It was filled with very colorful emotions and was overflowing with happy, sad, uplifting, bittersweet, and heartwarming moments. I definitely plan to watch season 2 in the near future, this is yet another one-of-a-kind series, very memorable. 9/10 |
 |
| This was an enjoyable anime, though I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I thought I would. I can see why it is loved so much, but it just didn't get through to me that much. I'm giving it a 7/10. I'm not sure if I'm gonna watch the other 3 seasons. Maybe I will if they won't be the same regular episodic seasons. |
 |
| Nyanko sensei is so hilarious =3= nice ending anyway |
| Poor Nyanko-sensei XD. This was a really enjoyable episode. Best festival episode out of all the other anime I've seen so far. It gave such a nice peaceful and happy feeling seeing all the youkai from the previous episodes come back and watch the fireworks together side by side with humans. This anime just reeks of summer and I love it. 8/10 Off to the next season. |
| 6/10 for me. Yes this anime was really heart felt and touching but what I felt like was that it was lacking depth. I felt like I really didn't truly KNOW the MC (Fears? Hobbies? etc.?), What happened to his grandma? Why did she die so young? Why make the book of friends, what did it mean? Why was Madara sealed away for who knows how long? Just felt like I was watch to watch, nothing more. There were times when I thought "Oh okay this is getting into something here..." And then it would be just a temporary problem that ended at 20 minutes. I can tell something might be going on with that older guy who can see the youkai too but idk. & yes I know this has a second season but holy crap if it's anything like this one I will not be watching it..unless I get REALLY bored. |
| Really good ending. Poor Sasada as always. It was nice to see Hinoe again. Gonna watch the sequels soon. |

MC was kind of just there, solving problems for other creatures/people. He lacked a personality or life. I'm at the start of season 3 and there still hasn't been any explanation for the Book of Friends and why his Grandma make it. |
| Natsume Yuujinchou was unexpectedly enjoyable~ xD Since the first episode it strongly reminded my of Studio Ghibli movies and it still does (even more so) when I finished the entire season. I'm not a huge fan of these kinds type of anime (Ghibli movies are fine but for animes, I usually end up not finishing the wholes season) but I actually found myself enjoying it all throughout. |

| gaaah, i hopere there's a romance between Natsume and Sasada, but Tanuma always ruin the moment ! what a nice way to end the first season, nice fireworks it was beautiful Overall score 8/10, now onto 2nd season |
 |
| Very good ending, it was fun to see the youkais in the festival, 7/10 |
 |
| This was a very relaxing and quite emotional show. Every single episode had that one powerful scene with the recurring theme of loneliness that always brought a tear to my eye. It was also nice to see a few of the side characters get a cameo in this episode. Hope Sasada makes some progress with Natsume in the following seasons. But seeing as this is a shoujo anime that has some mild shounen-ai, I don't see that happening anytime soon. |
| Not really impressed with the series overall. Confirmed, Natsume x Tanuma is canon. Poor the girl always being left out. |
| Sasada has been annoying for the whole season, but this time she really did it. She managed to piss me off so badly that I actually cursed at the screen. I'd gladly punch her in the face if I could. The fox-kid is unspeakably cute! Natsume and Tanuma should just adopt him and live like a happy gay family with Nyanko-sensei aka Ponta as their pet :) |
| Enjoyable ending for the season 1, lets hope the next seasons improve on the story. |
 |
| Well it was a Nice Ending. That Fox is soo Cute as usual. His Cuteness level is OVER 9000!!!! |
 |
| This anime didn't quite live up to my expectations, though that's not to say that I disliked it. The storytelling was wonderful and I liked how Natsume acted as a sort of mediator between the humans and the youkai, which led to some really sweet moments. It's a very heartfelt work. Unfortunately, my impressions about the overall aura and atmosphere of this show haven't changed since episode 1. It just doesn't have that feeling of "magic" that is present in similarly calm, episodic SoLs. The OST is nothing special (though the ED is quite nice), the humor wasn't that good, and relatively speaking the show has too much action for a SoL, though I guess I'm just nitpicking at this point. I'll definitely be watching the second season since I hear it's stronger than the first. |
 |
| The last episode was satisfying but it didn't leave as much impact to me as I'd have wanted. I missed the little fox though ;; This series was nice to watch. I'll be surely watching the second season at some point in the future. 8/10 |
 |
| that little fox was enough to make me love this episode |
| I'm speechless! The most beautiful anime I've ever watched and easiest 10/10 ever =^_^= Nyanko-sensei <3 <3 |
| Good series,the episodes weren't as impactful or interesting as say Mushishi but it was enjoyable none the less 7/10. |

Amazing. |
| Tender the final, goes well with what we have seen throughout the anime series, the script fails on this occasion, to also give a step forward in history. Nice to see almost all the secondary characters, especially Tanuma. Sasada fun trying to ensnare Nyanko-sensei, sweet Kogitsune. Melancholic but also sympathetic narration, excellent autumnal atmosphere during the narration. Excellent as final, the first set flew in a flash, I could review an infinite number of times this anime series, but I never get bored. Now I have to start with the second season trying not to be in a hurry, it takes some time before you start the new series of Natsume. 8.5/10 |
 |
| With this episode ends the first season. A season marked to the rhythm of the relaxing music, full of kindness, cordiality, some action and especially a lot of feeling, and all surrounded by "Yokais". Great. -- Este episodio pone fin a una primera temporada marcada a son relajante de la música, llena de bondad, cordialidad, algo de acción y sobre todo mucho sentimiento, y todo ello rodeado de "Yokais". Genial. |
| Absolutely loved it, would have give it a ten if there wasn't the useless episode of nyanko-sensei. |
| it was cool but not much to tell because it is about takashi being left a book by his grandma reiko called the book of friends. the book has names of spirits called youkais that reiko defeated and were under her control. youkais come to takashi to either be given their names or some to take the book. it was good and funny too. |
